Windows 7 compatibility[edit]
- Under Windows 7 Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (Release-Version 2.0.2. or if fully patched 2.4.3.) will crash constantly.
- Under Windows 7 the Add-on Sacred 2: Ice&Blood (Release-Version 2.64.0.0) will crash constantly.
- There is no official Windows 7 Fix-Patch for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. Here is a post on the Steam forum outlining potential steps to getting Sacred 2 to work on Windows 7. However, the only reliable solution is to buy the Add-on.
- (pertaining to v2.43 DRM-free German) Game will work only if Windows Aero is turned off.[citation needed]
